After eventually packing all my stuff in a couple of panniers, I cycled the 7 miles to Manchester Picadilly. Caught the 11.54 train to Birmingham New Street, where I was meant to mean Tom – but due to a navigational error on his part he missed his train. I got the train to Penzance anyway – a pretty boring 5 hour train journey. I really should have taken a book to read.

Once there, I cycled to Penzance youth hostel and then back to the station to wait for Tom. Whilst waiting I took a few pictures, which you can see in my gallery.

When Tom arrived at about 8.30 we cycled the 10 miles to Lands End, and there took a number of pictures, signed the vistitors handbook and then headed back to the youth hostel in the dark, rushing somewhat because we had to cycle 9 miles in 10 minutes as the hostel closed earlier than we had expected.

We did arrive before the youth hostel closed, and left our bikes in the damp bike cellar.
